Hi,

I am getting the below warning message for every job that i execute in parallel, please help me in fixing it.

main_program: Warning: the value of the PWD environment variable (/opt/Ascential/DataStage/DSEngine) does not appear to be a synonym for the current working directory (/opt/Ascential/DataStage/Projects/TE). The current working directory will be used, but if your ORCHESTRATE job does not start up correctly, you should set your PWD environment variable to a value that will work on all nodes of your system.

Thanks in Advance

I suspect the answer lies in your APT_CONFIG file, please post it.

resource scratchdisk "/opt/Ascential/DataStage/Scratch" {pools ""}
}

You will have to create a user defined environment variable "PWD" and set its value to a dot(".").

You can also set the value of PWD to "/opt/Ascential/DataStage/Projects/TE".

I was also getting this warning.After setting this env variable in Datastage Administrator,the warning went away.

The error is not, as I had somehow thought from the error message, in the configuration file. What flavor of UNIX are you working on, while the posted suggestion should work I've never had to explicitly set this value as normally the working directory value is set correctly by the OS.

I am working with Korn shell.

What UNIX platform are you on?

As a workaround I set up PWD as a user-defined environment in the project, with a default value of . (that is, the current directory).
